CUERO, TEXAS — Norma’s House, a regional child advocacy center, continues to strengthen its multidisciplinary approach to case coordination through monthly meetings held in Lavaca, DeWitt, and Gonzales counties. These gatherings bring together professionals from law enforcement, child protection services, legal teams, and healthcare to review active cases and determine next steps in protecting vulnerable children.
The meetings follow a consistent schedule:
- Lavaca County: First Wednesday of each month
- DeWitt County: Second Tuesday of each month
- Gonzales County: Third Thursday of each month
While the focus remains on casework, Norma’s House also prioritizes team cohesion by providing lunch at each meeting. Staff say the shared meal fosters open communication and encourages creative problem-solving in a more relaxed setting.
In September, the Women of the Lutheran Church stepped in to provide lunch for the Gonzales County meeting. Attendees described the meal as both delicious and deeply appreciated. Norma’s House staff expressed gratitude for the group’s time and generosity, noting that such contributions help sustain the collaborative spirit of the meetings.
Community members, organizations, and local clubs interested in volunteering to provide lunch at any of the three meeting locations are invited to contact Norma’s House directly at (830) 672-1278. Staff say the gesture goes a long way in supporting the center’s mission and building stronger partnerships across the region.
Norma’s House continues to rely on community support as it works to protect children and families throughout South Central Texas.
